Knight In Shining Fangs Chapter 24
Josephine did not bother to look in the direction of where Maya and Brian stood and instead, her eyes were on Lucas. She does not need anyone to tell her that there was lust in Maya’s eyes and Brian is probably eating his heart out.“There is something I forgot to tell you. You look incredibly beautiful,” Lucas said and Josephine blushed at his words before he pulled her face closer and gave her a kiss on the forehead. He tossed the key to the valet and they left after telling the man their suite number and to put their bags in their suite. Josephine felt Lucas pull her closer to him and they started walking towards the hotel. Josephine could feel people’s eyes on them, some of who were just arriving as them but she did not spare any of them a glance. She held her head high and one would not know that she was the same person who got her heart jilted.When they entered the hotel, after passing Brian and Maya with some of their bridesmaid, Josephine heard Lucas ask, “Is that your ex?”

When Josephine stepped into the ballroom with Lucas, it was not long before the people present started gushing on them and those who recognized who Lucas was, wanted to get close to him, but Lucas placed his hand around Josephine as if to signify that he was hers and that made Josephine smile. There were hundreds of eyes staring at them, some which were the people she recognized from the party of the night where she had ran out of Brian’s apartment and the looks on their faces made Josephine hold her head high.Taking her focus away from the people, Josephine felt her heart go heavy at the sight of the ballroom and her she fought back the tears that threatened to spill from her eyes. It was exactly the way she had imagined it to be and everything looks perfect, except for the fact that she wasn’t the bride anymore.When she looked up at Lucas, he gave her an encouraging smile and just then, Matilda appeared with a smile and led them to their seats. Josephine could feel people’s stares

Lucas and Josephine went back to their seats where Matilda kept cheering for her and Gabriel gave her a knowing look. “You both killed it! It’s your wedding after all,” Matilda said and they enjoyed dinner where they had buffet for guests and while Gabriel and Lucas were busy chatting together, Josephine looked at Matilda and saw her smile.“You didn’t have to wear the ring,” Matilda pointed out and Josephine looked at her finger where the ring was.“I don’t,” she said to her and she brought out the ring Brian had given to her.Matilda looked confused at first before her eyes widen immediately. She took the ring and compared it with the one that was on her finger. “I can see the difference now. Gosh! Everyone believed the ring was expensive then. I can’t believe he would even do that to you.”Josephine smiled and Matilda leaned closer to her before asking in a low voice, “Did he propose?”The smile on Josephine’s lips tightened and she replied in the same low voice, “It’s just for th

After dancing with Mrs. Lewis, she commented on the ring that Lucas gave to her and she blushed. She thought her mother would never notice it but she had seen it since she invited them over at their table. “Uhm...mother?” Josephine called and pursed her lips before speaking again, “Did you say anything to Lucas?” Of course, Josephine knew what she had said because Lucas told her, but she wanted her mother to say it herself.Mrs. Lewis smiled and replied her, “That is between the two of us.”Josephine smiled and then she later went to dance with the other relatives. After the dance, Josephine decided to walk back to her table where Lucas and the rest was and that was when she bumped into someone...or the person intentionally bumped into her.Regaining her balance, she looked at the person and saw that it was Brian’s mother; Mrs. Davis. Josephine had seen her sitting at the front table and she saw her carrying the sweetest smile where deep down, Josephine knew she was faking it. She sh

Josephine went to get a drink for herself and she drank from the wine glass, savoring the feeling. When she turned to head back, she bumped into someone and the content in the glass almost spilled but she was careful enough not to let a drop escape. Josephine saw Brian standing in front of her and he also has a drink for himself.He smiled at her and said, “Josephine, I’m glad you made it.”‘As if,’ Josephine said in her mind and smiled back at him. “Of course, I am glad I made it too. I couldn’t turn down your invitation,” she said to him and she could hear the irony in what she said. She could see that Brian was checking her out and a satisfying smile appeared on her lips.Just in time, Maya appeared from behind him and she hugged him before planting a kiss on his lips. When she looked at Josephine, she gave her a smile which Josephine knew was not real, and she said to her, “Look who is here. My adorable sister and friend. It’s so good to see you here.”On seeing her, Josephine did

Maya was still baffled that Josephine ended up with someone like Lucas but she was still having her doubts about their relationship. She knew there was no way Josephine could have met Lucas and plan everything out with him and it made her want to believe that they actually knew each other before but she was still not very certain.“You must be so happy dear sister,” Maya said.Josephine looked at her and she remembered the day Maya said those hateful words to her. She would have hated Maya for the rest of her lives but she is letting it all go only because of Mrs. Rosa Lewis. “I am always happy,” she replied to Maya and smiled back.“I think I am the happiest man here,” Brian said and when Josephine looked at him, he said, “Maya is carrying my child. What more joy could I ask for?” and then he smiled.Josephine got what he was trying to say and it got to her but she didn’t show it, and then Brian went further to say, “Your boyfriend must be better than me in the waiting game.”Before

Lucas looked at Josephine who seems to be thinking about where they had met before apart from the bar but when she parted her lips to speak, she asked him, “Have we?”“I asked you first,” Lucas said.“You are a vampire. If we have met before, you should remember that,” Josephine said and quirked her lips up.“Unfortunately, I don’t,” he said and let go of her hand. To Lucas, Josephine held a familiar similarity with someone he came across with when he was still young, but he could not place his hands on it. There was only one way to find out, but somehow, he was not ready to know, at least not yet, because he feared that it might be what he thinks it is.“You sounded like you were so sure back at the wedding. Well, thanks for pulling it off with me. Everyone believed you. Even I almost believed,” Josephine said and gave a little laugh and as if suddenly remembering something, she asked, “Do you feel bloodthirsty?”Lucas eyes changed to red almost immediately and he replied, “I am. Do

Josephine bit her lower lip and squint her eyes as she tried not to make any sound or move her body. She has been awake for a while now but she didn’t attempt to get up because Lucas was still in bed with her and he was wide awake. She wondered what he was still doing, lying down. She expected him to have left the bed and maybe go outside. She thought of different things he should have done but instead, he chose to lie down with his eyes wide open.Josephine didn’t know the first thing to say to him. She deliberated if she should wish him a good morning or just look at him with surprise and say ‘Oh, you’re up?’ A sigh escaped from her lips and at the same time, she felt the strands of hair at the back of her neck pull.“You can get up now,” Lucas deep voice said and she knew he already caught her. Josephine didn’t open her eyes right away and when she felt the weight on the bed reduce, she knew he already got down. She opened her eyes slowly and saw him walking towards the window wit

Josephine_So much has happened in a year when I met Lucas and so much has changed after a year he left. I still remember that night, losing the grasp of his hand and watching him die right in front of my eyes. That memory still haunts me. I keep telling myself he should not have been the one to die, but, I can never change what fate has in store for us. If I could, then I would have wished we never met. It is sad, but maybe it would have hurt less. Maybe we wouldn’t have gone through a pain like this. Maybe our lives would have been better. Maybe no one would have had to die.Matilda just got married to her long boyfriend, Gabriel, and nothing can describe the happiness I have for the both of them. It was a double celebration because she is expecting, very soon. But one would think I have no happiness at all. It was the kind where i was rejoicing inside me but my face holds no emotions at all. I guess I already turned cold myself. Even my smile does not believe I am happy when I indee

"It's my fault," Josephine kept repeating in her mind as Sullivan drove. She blames herself for everything. If only she had listened to him. If only he never ate that food, all these wouldn't have happened to him. And it was her fault. She did that to him, and now, she is not so sure anymore. The evening is already setting in and Sullivan drove into a narrow way which had trees surrounding every path. The ride was rough but no one cares as they just have to keep going. At a point, they got lost, not knowing the right path, but Sullivan was able to get back on track but it’s just that, they were a little too late.The evening before, when Sullivan saw the necklace Josephine held, he suddenly had a memory recollection. He has seen it somewhere before, just exactly the way it is. It was part of Mathian Gray’s collection back when he was still alive. When young Sullivan had questioned him on why he kept those things and pointed to that particular necklace, Mathian had said that he wants

If life were predictable then it would cease to be life and be without flavor. That was a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, Josephine thought as she lay in bed without clothes, under the sheets. It has been a while she has woken up after the long night she had with Lucas, yet, she has not moved or turned her body. It was because she knows that if she does, she won’t see him there and so, she has decided to remain in that position and reflect on her life.It has been a few years now since she made up her mind not to have sex before marriage and at first, she thought it was the reason Brian cheated on her, but no, Brian was never worthy of it in the first place. He never deserved her and that was it. But Lucas was different. What they did was not out of love, but something deeper than that. It was something that cannot be explained no matter how hard she tries to place it. And she did not regret it, nor did she feel like she was becoming like Maya. It was two different things. Maya only did i

Josephine stood there speechless and she stared at him. Of course there were lots of things she wanted to ask him about her mother. Why did he have to hide such a thing from her? Was he scared about what might happen if she finds out? Those were the questions she kept asking herself but for some reason, she did not know why she took pity on him. “Josephine,” he called and said, “I asked why you are not asking me about your mother. Nicholas told me about everything. I kept it from you and you finally found out, but why are you not asking me about it? Why are you not getting angry?” he grabbed her hand as he asked. “You should already know that your mother died because of me so say something and stop looking at me with those innocent eyes,” he yelled. Josephine had to close her eyes to prevent herself from flinching. She has never seen him so angry or speak in such manner. When he released his grip from her hand, she opened her eyes to stare into his eyes which already turned dark and

Josephine stared at the old picture in her hand and trailed her fingers on it. So the boy her mother mentioned about was actually Lucas. Was he the reason she never came back the day she was supposed to? Was that the reason he helped her and took her to his apartment? Did he know all along that she was the daughter? Then, was her mother the person before her?Those were the thought that came to her and she could not help but think about each one of them. She brought out the necklace and the letters that hung on it oscillated in the air.Sullivan saw the reflection of the silver necklace through the front mirror and as it dangled, he suddenly had a memory flash and he gasped almost immediately while stopping the car abruptly.Josephine almost hit her head on the front seat at the sudden halt and she moved her head to the side to check on Sullivan. “Are you alright?” she asked with worry on her face. “I am sorry, I should not have let you drive me back. You must have been tired.”“No, i

Mrs. Lewis stared at Josephine as they stood face to face with each other in the living room. Ever since she held that gathering, she has not seen nor spoken to her and it bothers her a lot. She did not mean to hurt her with the revelation, or maybe she should have told her first than reveal it while everyone was present.“I came to ask you something, mother,” Josephine blinked as she said it.Mrs. Lewis did not know what it was she wanted to ask, but she knows that something must have happened for her to come to her and want to ask about it. “And what is that?” she asked.“Before my mother died,” she said and could feel her eyes burning, “did she mention about a boy to you?” she asked. “She was going to bring him to me.”“No, she did not,” Mrs. Lewis answered honestly and concern etched on her face. “Did something happen?” she asked feeling unsure.A soft sigh escaped her lips and she took in a deep breath. “I got your package on my birthday,” she said and brought out the necklace fr

Michael met Sullivan on his way to start heading back to work and he stopped to greet him with a smile.“Good morning Mr. Sullivan.”“Yes, Michael,” Sullivan responded casually and asked, “Why are you here instead of being at work?”“That...” he trailed off and continued, “I have not seen Boss for some days now so I came to check up on him. I guess you must know where he is.”“Just get back to work already. The Boss does not like it when you laze around.”“Come on, I have been working my ass off ever since I started working for Boss but tell me, who is lazing around now?” he asked with a smirk.“The Boss has something important he is dealing with at the moment so it will take some time for him to return,” that is if he will. Sullivan said the last words in his mind.“I see,” Michael raised his brows. “Miss Josephine said the same thing.”“Quit talking and get going already,” Sullivan dismissed him.“How about you give me a lift?” Michael suggested with his usual smile.Sullivan scoffe

“Michael?” she called his name in surprise as she has not seen him for a while now.Michael smiled on seeing her and he pushed his glasses up while holding on to the arm of his backpack with his other hand.“Hello, Miss Josephine,” he greeted. “It is good to see you again.”“You too,” Josephine said with a smile and quickly moved to the side. “Please come inside.”Michael walked inside the apartment and Josephine shut the door before leading him towards the chair to sit.“Actually, I came to see the Boss,” Michael said and Josephine turned to face him. “He has been absent from work for the past few days now and I have not been able to reach him.”Josephine just came to realize that no one really knows what happened to Lucas except her, his friends and the other people present that day. “Uhm...he is not around at the moment. There is something he needs to take care of and I am not sure of when he will be back, but I don’t think it is anytime soon,” she said to him.“That is strange,” M

“You two are completely wasted,” Matilda said and took a sip from her drink. Josephine had brought them to a bar and had instructed the bartender to serve her only fruit juice while they had wine.“You should be happy that we are drinking on your behalf,” Josephine said to her and a wide smile form on her lips.“That is not what I am talking about,” Matilda said with a frown. “How can I send you both home in this state and I cannot leave you here either.”“Why are you in a hurry? I thought we were celebrating,” Candice said and gulped down the remaining content from her glass. “And by the way, I am not drunk, Josephine is.”“Who said I am drunk?” Josephine hit her palm on the table, drawing attention and Candice had to hold her hand down. “This is not my first time drinking.”“But you hate alcohol,” Matilda said. “I am even surprised that you decided to drink tonight. I feel guilty.”Josephine shook her head and said, “I was here the day Brian cheated on me. That was the first time I
